ELON MUSK: Some of the time you have to fail to achieve success

“If you're not failing at least some of the time, you're not trying hard enough.

You have to fail some of the time.

It's more like a batting average.

Somebody should have a good batting average, but nobody bats a thousand.

But if somebody bats zero all the time, I mean, okay, you've got to take them off.”
